Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Whittington Health NHS Trust has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of elective outpatient capacity, aiming to support the reduction of waiting lists for its patients. The contract was granted under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 governing the process. This one-month arrangement, between 7th March 2026 and 6th April 2026, is valued at £150,000 and involves services in general surgery, pain management, and ENT, excluding surgical procedures. Whittington Health NHS Trust, located in London, has collaborated with Nuffield Health as the supplier to provide these health services, classified under CPV code 85100000.

This contract opens opportunities for growth within the health services industry, particularly for large-scale organisations experienced in rapid mobilisation to address urgent healthcare needs. As the procurement method utilised bypassed prior publication of a call for competition, entities equipped to provide immediate outpatient services in the specified categories could potentially partner or form strategic alliances with primary suppliers like Nuffield Health for future contracts. However, small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, may need to explore similar opportunities through different avenues, as this opportunity was not deemed suitable for them.
